Serengeti National Park

Sanctuary Kusini Camp

Name: Sanctuary Kusini Camp
Address: Serengeti National Park

The Only Permanent Tented Camp in the Southern Serengeti

One of the best camps for viewing the migration as it ventures south of the Serengeti National Park, Kusini Camp offers you views from up high as it hides among a cluster of kopjes overlooking a game rich plain below.

The 12 tents are discreetly scattered around the main kopje and each have their own private veranda with comfortable day loungers where you could happily retreat to and spend hours simply enjoying the wilderness that spreads out in front of you. With a subtle classic decor, the tents are all very spacious and shaded beneath acacia trees providing a nice little sanctuary after you experience some amazing game. The main dining and lounge area has marvellous views and makes for a great sundowner experience.

The setting is hard to match. Between January and March, this camp has pride of place and gives you the chance to see the baby zebra and wildebeest arrive. After November has brought the short rains, the landscape almost instantly springs to life with shoots of green grass and as nature would have it, excellent grazing for the youngsters as they struggle to keep up with the herds that are constantly on the move.

Sanctuary Kusini also happens to be in an area that is ideal leopard territory and sightings are accordingly excellent. Moru Kopjes is nearby to the lodge which is a popular spot for prides of lion who can gaze down over the plains with their sharp eyes scanning the horizon.

Tanzania

Songa Tented Camp

Songa Tented Camp is nestled in the hilly outcrops of the northern serengeti. Enjoy your creature comforts while in exhilarating proximity to nature and wildlife. The camp’s prime position gives you front row seats to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration and the drama of the nearby Mara River crossings.

Songa consists of eight en-suite tents and a family tent with two rooms, joined by a living area. The decor of the tented suites and social areas is simple, in tune with the natural surroundings and with flashes of vibrancy in the soft furnishings. The materials used take inspiration from the seemingly endless inky blue skies and burnt orange sunsets of the wilderness. Set up as a split camp, there is also the option to book one side of Songa on an exclusive basis.

At Songa you’re in the thick of the action with sounds and sights of nature just outside your tent. Adventure on daily game drives to find the abundant wildlife that resides in the endless savannahs. If you visit between July and October particularly you’ll have the best chance of catching the famed Mara River crossings as the wildebeest follow the rains in search of greener pastures. We recommend trying a hot air balloon safari here. Your birds-eye view down onto prides of lions, immense herds of wildebeest and masses of other creatures gives you a privileged insight into their world.
